T.Y. Hilton might be small in stature, but given his recent stretch of huge games, even he couldn't duck the attention bound to come his way from opposing defenses.

After the 5-9, 178-pounder shredded defenses for 251 yards and three touchdowns in the first two games following veteran Reggie Wayne's season-ending knee injury, the inevitable happened in the Colts' last game. Hilton was largely taken away by the Tennessee Titans defense. The Colts, struggling to stay within striking distance after another of their all-too-common slow starts, needed someone to fill the considerable void.
